This 75 centimes stamp from Ruanda-Urundi features a detailed botanical illustration of the Ochna flower, a tropical plant known for its bright yellow flowers and red fruits, though here depicted in soft pink blossoms with vivid red buds. Issued in the early 1960s, it was printed by Courvoisier S.A., Switzerland, a renowned security printer famous for high-quality intaglio and lithographic stamp production. The stamp reflects Ruanda-Urundi’s tradition of showcasing local flora, part of a broader thematic set highlighting the region’s botanical richness. These stamps were released shortly before Ruanda-Urundi gained independence and split into the modern nations of Rwanda and Burundi in 1962, making them historically significant transitional issues.
